MAC Venomous Villains Evil Queen Collection Reviews and Swatches

For the Evil Queen collection, we have a more wearable palette of purples and reds.

The Eyeshadows ($15.50) come mostly in purple shades and while they are pretty, they look similar to previously released colors. Her Alter Image is a pigmented, light violet in the Veluxe Pearl formula; Vainglorious is a frosty burgundy brown; Vile Violet is a dark purple in the Matte formula.

The Lipsticks ($15.50) and Lipglasses ($15.50) are my favorite in this collection. Toxic Tale is a gorgeous bright coral in the Satin formula; Sinister is a Soft brown plum (Lustre) (Limited Edition); Strange Potion is shimmery soft coral and Hot House, a repromote from Strange Hybrid collection, is a shimmery dark raspberry.

Overall, this collection has a really nice selection of colors that will work on a variety of skin tones. My picks are:

I like the range of shades in this collection, simply because they are completely wearable for the everyday woman (who can often feel intimidated by the vivid shades in other ranges). I also adore the fun packaging, which adds some extra enjoyment! Overall, I think this range is very versatile and great looks would be achievable with these.
